As a Mustang owner (2000, v6, Silver), I've made it a point to not put on the calendar the sort of gig--say, as a music act or wedding photographer--where not showing up would be a disaster.
Where other, heavier vehicles and 4-wheel-drive units may brave heavy snow and some ice, I'm wary of the suffering involved if the drive should take a slippery turn.
Business and interviews that may be put off on account of weather are another matter.
Still, from January to March, from darkness and freezing rains into near spring snowfall and still bitter days, one may work on catalog, as I do, and read at length, which I think a necessity.
Freedom of mind, academic freedom, freedom to follow one's curiosity and do so not only by flitting across the web but also by sitting on a bed thoroughly involved in a long book: such things should be the province of many, not a few.
Today is a good day for that.
I have work to do by way of advertising and promoting my photography, but I have also time for Aperture and Black and White, two of the art magazines in photography.
Also recently arrived: the companion to The Arab Mind, scholar Raphael Patai's The Jewish Mind. What's fair is fair--having given much time to the former, I feel obligated to provide the same to the latter.
